Part of it is about the fact that, at this time, Avex=Ayumi Hamasaki's revenue. Other part is that, to be sure, many performers have these kind of problems. It comes with the job. But, if she was predisposed to it, which seems to be the case, there should have been allowances made. Also, if things were getting bad, they shouldn't have held the concerts. Those dome concerts are probably what damaged her hearing to the point it is now. I can see that Avex thought, "We have to go on." But, they should have cancelled. U.S. artists cancel for less, definitely. But I think that Avex operates differently. Still, I know of other people who cancelled their lives, including Utada Hikaru, Onitsuka Chihiro, and others. It is an example of how dedicated Ayu is. But such dedication can sometimes wear a person out.
